The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Moving on, we find two interesting books from the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of meals served to the nobility of those days. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
